This is the story of my adventures in the outdoors of Arkansas; from the bland to the grand and everything in between.

Valentine's Day

Valentine’s Day, a day that is made up, by some evil demonic person, so you can spoil your significant other or if you are single…a day that could make you feel neglected and dejected. What is the real purpose of this “holiday”? Is it to entice someone to be romantic? I am sorry but a designated day to make some one romantic is not going to work, in fact the notion of a holiday for this is in itself is unromantic. If a person is romantic he/she will be romantic most all of the time. If a person is not romantic, having a day set in stone that he/she sends someone flowers and a card is not romance. Romance is more then something you do, it is a feeling. It is something deep down inside a person that makes them want to pamper someone else. It is the intense pleasure that you feel when you make someone happy. It is the continuing efforts to make someone that happy all the time. It is about the sacrifices that one makes to see the other person smile. Romance is in the little things, the rubbing of feet, the back rubs, the baths and even doing the dishes or any other duty that the other person normally does. Romance is not in the presents, it is the giving. The giving could be anything but the unselfish giving of one’s self is the greatest gift one could give another.

Happy Valentines Day.
